Wow! I learned a lot from these two interviews.
Everything said rang true of conservative thinking.
John Yoo and Peter Ferrara both opined about government policy (Yoo’s “administrative state”) and the current candidates.
Both offered spot-on perceptions of the candidate/s and their policies (five taxes eliminated; a return to the gold standard; foreign policy dedicated to American interests; entitlement & social security reform – Cruz, per Ferrara) and more! Peter Ferrara makes a rock-solid case for electing Ted Cruz.
And I was introduced to Fed. Judge Janice Rogers Brown – a libertarian intellect – by John Yoo. Holy Moly!
These excellent informative interviews are a must-listen!
Agree with Jennifer. Two great interviews. You are so fortunate to get talk to some really great conservative/libertarian intellectuals on your show. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Thanks for the feedback! We at AACONS greatly appreciate it.
